True Color

[Gabirel]

What is true color?

Why SpaceVim choose to use true colors by default?

Come from: #4 (comment)

What does the terminal looks like without true color support?

Here's the test script:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Gabirel/toolkit-src/master/color_test/test_24bit.sh

What does the result if the terminal supports true color?

What should I do if my terminal has no true color support?

A: Use another one

[Gabirel]

For windows user:

xshell doesn't support true colors.

@fcying has already requested this feature. xshell maybe support true color in the future version,

Solution

If you really want to use SpaceVim in xshell, please use SpaceVim in tmux in your xshell.

Note: tmux version >= 2.3

For MacOS users:

Please use item2 instead of iterm

@ourml Please give more information about this error, such as how to execute it or something

[ourml]

when I click Enter, it shows lots of code like the that picture

[Gabirel]

@ourml You could try bash test_24bit.sh instead of ./test_24bit.sh if your OS is Ubuntu or Debian. Let me know if it works

[ourml]

it's the same problem

[ourml]

my OS is Unbuntu Server, and it's running on virtual environment(The software 'VMware Workstation'), is that related to it?

[Gabirel]

No, I don't think so. I guess your shell is zsh. However, zsh works for me though.

One thing needs to pay attention is that Ubuntu's shell uses dash as default. This could result in this kind of error. It's weird if you use bash to execute it.

Also, if you make sure your terminal doesn't support true color, just skip the tests.

[ourml]

Yes, you are right, my shell is zsh, I try it agin

[Gabirel]

Or, can you just go into bash and then execute it again?

Just make sure you don't use dash.

[ourml]

I tried, but it's the same, even use the root to execute

[Gabirel]

This problem has been fixed.

I will update the latest version of test script to make sure that everyone could use it without any errors.
